We see 8 circles that contain images which represent the tools in the toolbox. To the left of the toolkit, we find a light blue envelope in a white circle, a white phone and a white speech bubble instead a dark blue circle, and a white WIFI symbol inside of a medium blue circle. Inside the toolbox, there is a dark blue circle with two white speech bubbles and a medium blue circle that shows to stick figures with one putting its arm around the other. To the right of the toolbox is a dark blue circle with two white hands that are holding up a white speech bubble (the MHCC uses this icon for their #ShareHope suicide prevention wall), a medium blue circle with a white heart, and a white circle with a light blue smartphone.
